Meilan Note5 makes the final appearance in a brother's vest. Is it worth buying?
2018-01-05 17:00

In the last month of this year, Meizu's 11th conference finally came to an end. Meilan Note5, as its last new product, should have been highly anticipated, but the author felt disappointed after watching the full live broadcast at home. If this is the first time you see the Meilan mobile phone, you may feel that it is the most exquisite and ultra long endurance 1000 yuan mobile phone. But if you are familiar with several Meilan mobile phones released this year, you may have this feeling: Meilan Note5 has been released again without changing the vest. In any case, Meilan Note5 has made its final debut. Whether it is worth buying or not, you can get some answers from this article.

Appearance: It is reasonable to say that this is this year's Meilan style

Meizu's air sea strategy this year came to an end. In this year, Meizu released a total of 14 mobile phones, including 10 under Meilan, which had to be amazing because of the rapid update. However, careful people will find that many of them have a public face, making it difficult to distinguish from the appearance.

At present, Meilan E, Meilan MAX and Meilan Note5 all use the same appearance design. The classic Meizu face makes people never tire of seeing it. The front of Meilan Note5 is equipped with a 5.5 inch screen. It feels OK in terms of single hand operation. The frame width is average, and it belongs to a typical 5.5 inch mobile phone.

In addition, the current popular 2.5D glass is also added to the screen. In the case of reflection, it can be seen that there is a curved edge. In fact, this 2.5D glass will be more warm and moist under the full black panel.

The screen top distance/light sensor and the 5 million front camera are not completely symmetrical.

All the mobile phones currently on sale of Meizu, regardless of their positioning, use the proud waist circle mTouch fingerprint identification. Personally, I agree that the mobile phones with front fingerprints are more compelling and more beautiful than the rear ones.

At present, the Melanie Blue Note5 on sale has three colors: champagne gold, moonlight silver and star grey. The one I have is moonlight silver, because the back of the note uses a nano injection antenna design, which brings a stronger metal texture with a higher proportion of metal. In addition, Melanie Blue Note5 also has CNC chamfering on all the edges of the phone, which also makes Melanie Blue Note5 appear more robust.

The cameras and flash lights of all Meizu's mobile phones are designed in the middle. Even the Meilan series, as a low-end positioning, has added dual color temperature flash lights. The imaging effect of the 13 million pixel rear camera will be brought later.

The buttons on the right side of the phone are grooved, and the buttons are not loose, and the workmanship is good.

In terms of mobile phone card slot, Meilan Note5 adopts the popular two out of three card slot design. You can choose the dual card dual standby mode of All Netcom, or you can choose the combination mode of single card plus one memory card expansion. The benefits of this design need no more words.

There is a noise reduction hole at the top of the screen, and all the other holes and slots are designed at the bottom of the phone. The whole bottom hole and slot are also well processed. There is no sense of cutting hands when touching the whole bottom. In addition, it is worth mentioning that many mobile phone volume holes are designed with small round holes. This time, Magic Blue Note5 has also designed it as a flat waist, This design also looks very harmonious.

In general, Meizu insists on its own design for each mobile phone, and this design is very mature, which makes Meilan Note5 completely comparable to the high-end models on the market in appearance. If it can make a thousand yuan mobile phone like this, Meizu is the only one.


Screen: 1080P, good brightness

The Meilan Note5 is equipped with a 5.5 inch 1080P screen, which is much better than the Meilan 5 with a 720P screen in terms of screen display. A year ago, 720P was basically the standard configuration for mobile phones under 1000 yuan, but now most of them can upgrade to 1080P screen, which is very desirable for ordinary consumers.

Turn the brightness to the highest, and you can clearly feel that the screen display brightness of Meilan Note5 is good, and it does not have the gray feeling of traditional thousand yuan computers. In terms of color, Meilan Note5 supports the adjustment of cold and warm color temperatures. By default, Meilan Note5 is slightly cold, and the color display will be more dark, but the overall color is restored, It can also be clearly felt that Meilan Note5 is more accurate than Meilan 5. The screen of Meilan 5 is green and lacks transparency, while the screen of Meilan Note5 is much better than that of Meilan 5. The screen performance of Meilan Note5 in a thousand yuan computer should be good.

  

Camera: At this price, the quality is outstanding, completely exceeding expectations.

Flyme's camera system is still very simple and easy to use. In terms of photographing mode, in addition to supporting automatic/manual photographing and video recording modes, it also supports beauty, panorama, light field and other photographing modes, of which the light field mode is the legendary mode of taking photos before focusing.

Today's 1000 yuan computers are basically equipped with 13 million pixel rear cameras and support phase focusing, and Meilan Note5 is no exception. Today's mobile phone cameras can basically take clear samples when the light is enough.

Even in foggy days, it also performs well.

The samples under the dim indoor light gradually show the real quality of a mobile phone. From the actual samples taken, the samples taken by Meilan Note5 are basically free of noise, and its overall performance is still good.

In terms of macro, Meilan Note5 has a special macro mode. In this mode, you can take good macro photos. The following samples are taken in an indoor environment. From the magnified samples, 13 million pixels are basically enough, and the overall details are very good.

The real test of a mobile phone's photography quality is the night scene. Especially for the control of the night scene noise, I had no expectations for the night scene photography of the 1000 yuan phone before I experienced the camera function of the Meilan Note5. In particular, I recently experienced the night scene photography of the Meilan 5, which is also 13 million pixel camera. The full noise makes me feel that, The thousand yuan machine may have the same quality, but after experiencing the Meilan Note5, I found for the first time that the thousand yuan machine can also have a good camera. This time, Meilan Note5 used the IMX258 sensor, which is usually used at the middle and high end. From the photo samples of Meilan Note5, we can see that the noise control is very good, and some people may say that it is heavily smeared. But for a thousand yuan machine, there are few people who can have such a quality of photography. Meilan Note5's outstanding ability to take pictures at night has completely exceeded my expectations.

  

System: Flyme5.2 is about to pass, and Flyme6 is worth looking forward to

At present, Meilan Note5 is equipped with the Flyme5.2 system based on Android 6.0. The Flyme5 system version was released last September. As time goes by, the latest Flyme6 system has been released last month. After reading the official introduction to the system, I am very excited that Meizu has not only added many practical functions, but more importantly, its One Mind intelligent acceleration scheme can make the operating efficiency of 3G mobile phones similar to that of other 4G mobile phones, and the mobile phones will be used faster and faster over time, Meilan Note5 not only has 3G operation, but also is one of the first batch of adapters. I just want to say that there are still a few days left. I'm really looking forward to it.

Before we officially experience Flyme6, we have to review the Flyme5.2 system currently in use. Flattened icons and small and fresh interfaces reflect the youth products. Anyone familiar with the Flyme system will know that the system has always been well-known for its fluency in domestic systems. If you want to experience the fluency of IOS on Android phones, you can really try Meizu's mobile phones.

In terms of human-computer interaction, users familiar with Android can quickly get on board. Flyme5.2 uses the traditional Android pull-down task bar and shortcut. Pull up can pop up the search bar, while two fingers and one pinch or long press of desktop wallpaper can enter the interface of sorting icons, changing wallpaper and adding desktop tools.

For a domestic system, it must conform to the usage habits of Chinese people, so it must be rich in functions and good in services. Let's take a look at the built-in functions and services of Meizu Flyme5.2.

In terms of humanized functions, there are all kinds of functions, such as gesture wake-up, levitation ball and red envelope assistant. Although these functions have never been used by me, whether you use them or not, they are there.

Meilan Note5 is a 5.5 inch large screen mobile phone, and the split screen function is also indispensable. Pull up from the bottom of the screen to pop up the application background, where you can directly enter the split screen mode. I have never used this function.

Split screen mode not only supports vertical screen, but also horizontal screen.

The super font simple mode is actually the elderly mode. The icon is larger and the font is larger, which is more suitable for the elderly. Maybe no one wants to be old, so most people call it the simple mode.

In terms of services, the major domestic mobile phone manufacturers are now trying to implant various life services as much as possible, not only including app stores, game centers and theme applications.

This life service basically includes all Internet services, including mobile phone recharge, ticket purchase, takeaway and other services that I often use. With these services, your mobile phone will not need to install so many service apps, and your mobile phone will be simpler, and I will feel more secure during use. In the future, this kind of life related service will only become more and more abundant, and will also make our life easier.

In general, no matter what the current system is, Flyme5 is about to die, and Flyme6, which is more fluent and more useful, is coming. After reading the introduction of Flyme6, I fully believe that it can be an important reason for you to buy the Magic Blue Note5. What's your actual experience? Let's wait quietly. Anyway, it's fast.

  

Fingerprint: support fingerprint payment, slow to unlock when the screen is turned off

All Meizu's mobile phones currently on sale are equipped with positive fingerprint identification and support fingerprint payment function. In the aspect of fingerprint entry, it requires 15 consecutive correct touches to enter, and the entry speed is not fast.

This is the mTouch fingerprint key Meizu is proud of. Tap the return function to make people feel good. However, in terms of screen unlocking, it seems that all Meizu's mobile phones are not fast. From the actual experience, it can be seen that in the process of fingerprint unlocking when Meizu Note5 is in the off screen state, the first thing to enter is the lock screen interface, and then the desktop. At present, the mobile phones of other domestic manufacturers can basically skip the lock screen interface and unlock directly, which is the main reason why Meilan Note5 unlocks slowly when the screen is turned off. Finally, I tried to use my fingerprint for WeChat payment and Alipay payment, both of which can be used perfectly. However, after the purchase is completed immediately, I may have an impulse to cut my finger.

 

Performance:

Although Meizu PRO6 Plus, the final product of this year, came on the stage with Exynos8890, Wannian MediaTek is still the biggest pain point for Meizu at present. As the upgrade of Meilan Note3, Meilan Note5 has not been upgraded on the processor. It is still the P10 of MediaTek. When Meilan Note5 was released, many people complained about this, but have you ever thought about it, The OPPO R9 equipped with MediaTek P10 has easily sold more than 10 million yuan, and the minimum configuration version of Meilan Note5 has also been upgraded to 3G storage, so the actual performance of Meilan Note5 is actually sufficient for ordinary consumers. I tried King Glory. Except that the menu interface was slightly stuck at the beginning, it still ran normally after entering the game. There was no obvious stuck situation during the game.

In addition, I tried to play through Firewire, and it still ran smoothly, so I don't need to worry too much about the performance of Meilan Note5. Of course, if you want to use Meilan Note5 to play the machine abuse game similar to NBA2K, you should give up. After all, Meizu PRO6s will also get stuck seriously. So for most people, Meilan Note5 is basically enough.

  

Endurance: Endurance is a surprise and supports fast charging

Meilan Note5 is equipped with a 4000mAh super large lithium battery in the 8.1mm thick fuselage, so Meilan Note5 should have a good actual performance in terms of endurance. According to the actual test, the actual power consumption of watching 1 hour of online video is 7%; Play King Glory for one hour, and the actual power consumption is 16%; Listen to online music for one hour, and the actual power consumption is 3%; Finally, we talked about QQ for 1 hour, and the actual power consumption was 5%. That is to say, after 4 hours of heavy use, Meilan Note5 still had 69% of the remaining power. Then we stopped playing with the phone and let it stand by for 8 hours, and the actual power consumption was only 1%. So from my actual test results, we can see that even for a heavy mobile phone user, Meilan Note5 can still provide you with a full day of use. If you are a medium and light mobile phone user, you can use it for two or three days without any problems. In terms of the endurance, Meilan Note5 is really good.

In addition to its huge battery capacity, Meilan Note5 finally supports 18W fast charging this time. In the current thousand yuan mobile phone market, there are few mobile phones that can join the fast charging function. Moreover, Meilan Note5 has put most of its costs on hardware such as all metal materials, fingerprint identification module in front, IMX258 camera module and 1080P screen, Therefore, it can also be seen that the final release of Magic Blue Note5 is really sincere. According to the actual measurement, when there is still 1% left in Meilan Note5, it can reach 14% after ten minutes of charging, 26% after twenty minutes of charging, 39% after half an hour of charging, 76% after one hour of charging, and it takes 97 minutes to fully charge. This charging speed is undoubtedly a very good performance for a thousand yuan machine.

  

Advantages of Meilan Note5:

1. All metal design, excellent overall appearance and workmanship.

2. Tap the returned mTouch fingerprint key repeatedly.

3. The system is smooth, and better use of Flyme6 is coming.

4. The camera has excellent imaging, which is already excellent at this price.

5. Large capacity battery, and support fast charging.

Disadvantages of Meilan Note5:

1. The processor is low end.

2. Meilan brand value positioning is low.

3. Fingerprint recognition is a little slow.

Is it worth buying?

Buying new phones instead of old ones is not only applicable to phones of the same model, but also to phones of different models of the entire Meilan series. Meilan E has been recognized by many consumers for its exquisite appearance and excellent photography. However, after the release of Meilan Note5, Meilan Note5 has almost the same appearance design (thickness of 0.2mm can be ignored) and identical hardware configuration, Larger battery capacity and cheaper sales price make it have an unparalleled cost performance.

In addition, my Meilan 5 has just been released, and the 32G version is 899 yuan, which is exactly the same price as the 16G version of Meilan Note5. However, Meilan Note5 has a larger size, clearer display screen, better camera, larger battery capacity, and supports fast charging. Moreover, Meilan Note5 also supports memory card expansion.

Having said so, I just want to say that Meilan Note5 is destined to become an impulse product under Meilan after its release. However, it is Meilan brothers under Meizu that are the most injured. With its balanced product performance and high cost performance, Meilan Note5 is destined to be worth buying than all current Meilan phones, This not only makes people who have just bought Meilan E or Meilan 5 sad, but also makes other phones under Meilan look very embarrassed. This is actually another proof of the confusion of the entire Meilan product line.

Of course, although Meilan Note5 can involve many problems of Meizu and uses low-end MediaTek solutions in performance, these cannot prevent it from becoming a cost-effective 1000 yuan machine, which not only has exquisite appearance and workmanship, easy-to-use mTouch front finger keys, and excellent imaging rear camera, And I believe that the upcoming Flyme6 will bring a smoother and more intelligent operating experience to Meilan Note5.

  

Write at the end:

In this era of excessive processor performance, the processor is no longer the evaluation standard of an excellent 1000 yuan machine. People are more concerned about whether the appearance of the phone is exquisite, whether the camera is excellent, whether the system is smooth, whether the battery life is strong, and whether it supports fast charging. However, the Meilan Note5 has all these qualities. Do you need a Meilan Note5, There is no need to say more.
